Gary Pettis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gary George Pettis (born April 3, 1958, in Oakland, California) is the current first base coach of the Texas Rangers and a former center fielder in Major League Baseball who played for the California Angels, Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers, and San Diego Padres during the 1980s and early 1990s.
Pettis was selected in the 6th round of the 1979 draft by the Angels and spent eleven years in the major leagues. He consistently hit for low averages and was known for striking out often, but he performed extremely well on defense, earning five Gold Glove Awards. Additionally, he was a prolific base runner and had five seasons where he stole over 40 bases.
Gary had his younger brother sit in for his picture on his 1985 Topps baseball card.[citation needed]
